So sorry to hear that I hate all kind of those bichos 🦟 🐜 🦟

I know that’s right! Karina!! I went and got some heavy-duty stuff that was highly recommended and it kills over 150 insects and I saw thrips on the list and I was sold!! Today was a mad house and I’m freaking exhausted from wiping down plants 🌱 for hours on end. After I got done with my Peace Lily opened her buds that are normally closed as if she was saying thank you in her own beautiful 🤩 way!! Well sweet dreams gurlie I’m so ready to hit the hay 😴!!  
🌱❤️‍🩹🌱

I found out I have thrips on my outside plants recently and it’s a battle! What are you using for them?

#### Belle replied on 2026-10-23

Uhg man!! Shoot!! I went to Lowe’s and they didn’t have what I use typically so they highly recommended this and it says right in it kills thrips so I would definitely try that.

Awesome thank you!

Now might be a good time to add a carnivorous plant to your collection. Pinguiculas are pretty easy and can help a lot with thrips and fungus gnats
